My grandfather initially came to Kingfisher for respite care but remained following a decline in his health. As a family, we were understandably anxious about the prospect of him moving into a care home. However, after visiting several homes, we felt Kingfisher was the right choice. The rooms are lovely, each with its own bathroom, and there are smaller seating areas where residents can spend time with visiting family. The main lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating and easy access to drinks and snacks. The food is excellent, freshly prepared and homemade, and there is regular entertainment for residents to enjoy. Most importantly, we have found the staff to be genuinely caring, attentive and responsive to my grandfather's needs, which gave us real peace of mind. I know my grandfather would want me to say a special mention for his mate Jono. I would recommend Kingfisher to anyone looking for a caring, welcoming and comfortable environment.

My mum has been residing in Kingfisher care home for the last year. The care she receives has been amazing. Every member of staff go above and beyond to ensure her well being and safety. Mum participates in all the activities , eats well and is happy and settled. I finally have peace of mind that mum is being well looked after. Very well managed and I've been informed throughout about her well being. Looked at many homes before choosing this one and there's nowhere else I'd rather she be.

My dad spent the last six months of his life at Kingfisher Court and was very well looked after as his needs increased. He settled in easily to his lovely room which we furnished with mementos from home. Visitors were always made to feel very welcome and every member of staff was helpful and friendly. Standards are first class at the home with excellent home-cooked food every day and it is spotlessly clean. He thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment days and we even held a lovely family birthday party for him. I would highly recommend Kingfisher Court to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe and caring home for their loved one.
I am more than happy with the care mum receives at Kingfisher. Mum settled in quickly. Her room is lovely, furnished nicely with a well equipped en suite shower room. The staff are amazing, kind and welcoming and treat everyone individually and with the respect they deserve. A care plan is put in...
There are regular entertainment slots and activities, 1-1 time. They have weekly coffee morning on a Thursday for residents and visitors.
Thank you to staff at Kingfisher we appreciate everything you do for mum. It was such a difficult decision for us to make but mum is safe and looked after in a lovely environment so if definitely was the right time and place for her.

Kingfisher Court is a wonderful care home that I would highly recommend. The staff are friendly and very caring. They treated mum with such kindness and although she liked to spend most of her time in her room the staff were always popping in to chat and check on her. The rooms are clean and fresh with a spotless en-suite. There is daily entertainment and weekly coffee mornings. The meals always smell delicious and the tables are set to a restaurant standard. There is also a nice enclosed garden and a lovely garden where we held mums birthday party.

If, or as and when the need arises, he needs permanent care, I know he will have no hesitation in coming to Kingfisher Court if there is the capacity.
We're really pleased with our choice of care home for our mum. Everyone is very welcoming. Our family enjoy visiting Mum for coffee and cake on a Thursday. We can rest assured that Mum is looked after well.

First time I have been involved in a care home environment and the experience has dispelled all my concerns as to what it would be like. All the staff I have been in contact with are friendly, approachable, helpful and prepared to go the extra mile to provide a first-class service to residents and relatives.. No request is too difficult, insignificant or impossible. They make what must be a difficult workplace as pleasurable as possible. They always have a smile on their faces. The main areas and thoroughfares are kept clean, tidy, nicely furnished and decorated, giving a great first impression.
Cheerful staff. Very good care. Pleasant surroundings. Nice bedrooms. Good entertainment. Very good all-round home.

I cannot thank the staff enough for their care. Mum is not very talkative and someone always includes her in conversation. Always well turned out, Mum has a comfortable friendship with staff and residents.

Generally, no problems in fact, most things are very good. Just a couple of concerns, i.e. quite a few items have gone 'missing' from rooms and some have never been found. The other thing relates to the number of trips out that the residents used to go on seems to have almost come to an end. Are there trips - especially to church sing-along and the 'Hub' going to continue? Finally, the resident's toilet on Birch has been out of action for weeks. Is it ever going to be repaired.

I am passionate about working in care and have always considered myself to be a people person. It is a huge privilege to work with others and to know that I am the driving force behind a service where all people matter. I consider myself to be a kind and empathetic person who is a good listener at all levels.
I have worked in care for a long time, and there are many reasons for this. I love the fact that the smallest of gestures mean the most to others, and if, during the course of my working day I can make others feel valued and genuinely cared for, then I know that I am making a difference to someone’s life. Caring for others is the most rewarding career to have.
An integral part of my role is to forge strong relationships with residents and their families and friends, their input will be fundamental to the quality of the service at Kingfisher Court. I enjoy supporting and developing my staff team to deliver the highest standard of care. I take pride in providing outstanding care to my residents, and having a good team who share the same values is vital to achieving this goal.
I am a perfectionist who enjoys the attention to detail that comes with this job, I like to focus on the standards of attainment required to hold the position that I love.
My door will always be open, I am responsive and ready to help in any way that I can. I both encourage and welcome any feedback that will help us to shape the future of the home.

I’m Nicky, I have worked in Health and Social Care for around 17 years now and my work means so much to me.
I enjoy working with people, supporting them, and encouraging them, leading a happy, fulfilled team! I love getting to know the residents that I support, hearing their stories and learning about their lives, and delivering hands-on care, that enables me to develop a person-centred approach.
I haven’t been here at Kingfisher long, but I have a good feeling about the home, it is such a warm, welcoming, happy place to be. I’m sure that I will fit in well here, I work well under pressure and love having an open door to enable both the residents and their families and me to develop a close professional relationship based on honesty and trust. I feel very fortunate to have been given this opportunity and I am grateful for the warm welcome that I have received. My job takes up a lot of my time but when I’m not at work, I spend my time playing with my 3 Children, enjoying the company of my husband, and saying I will go to the gym!

I’m Merv O’Connor, I started at Kingfisher Court in 2023 as the Maintenance Person, I have not worked in care previously, but thoroughly enjoy the change in direction, I left school at 16 and joined the Army as a Combat Medical Technician, travelling and seeing service in a number of locations, upon discharge from the Army, I attended university, obtaining my BA (Hons) in Business, followed by an MA and PhD in Strategic HR and Operational Management, this led to a direction change and I became a business consultant to the food industry, working on a variety of contracts from building factories to developing new products, as well as converting an amusement arcade into my own pub!
Working with the amazing team and residents here at Kingfisher Court makes it worthwhile coming to work!!
